Well don’t you know about the bird? Well everybody knows that the bird is the word? A bird-a-bird bird bird. B-bird’s the word!

Objective:
Find an instance of each word on the list being used in the lyrics of a song.
Rules:
1) You can’t use the same song more than once, for any topic.
2) Within topics, you can’t use the same artist more than once.
3) The selected word has to be in the lyrics, but not necessarily in the title. If it’s in the title but not the lyrics, it doesn’t count.
4) You can look through your own music collection for help, but NO GOOGLE.
4.1) No Yahoo!, no Bing, no Lycos, no Ask.com, no GoodSearch, etc.
5) Variations or specific examples are acceptable (unless otherwise stated), but not preferred. (e.g. “Pistol” or “Guns” work if the word on the list is “Gun”)

Topic – Birds birds birds!

Eagle

Hawk

Duck

Goose

Pigeon

Parrot

Hummingbird

Dove

Penguin

For bonus points, give me as many others birds as you can think of. Don’t worry about using the same song or artist twice, I just want to see all the birds you can come up with. Potential answers can include (but are not limited to)…

So I know a lot of you were probably wondering where this week’s Musical Lexicon was hiding. Well, guess what? I’m doing a Visual Music instead! I CUT THE BRAKES! WILDCARD, BABY! Matt thinks he can throw my category into the archive? Think again, Matt. Just because I just started a full time job and have a ID badge that says “corporate” on it doesn’t mean I’m gonna let THE MAN get me down! Let’s do this thing!

“I had these dreams that I would learn to play guitar, maybe cross the country, become a rock star.”

Father/Dad

Chop Suey! – System of a Down

“Father! Father! Father into your hands I commend my spirit”

Pilot

Salute MY Shorts! – Rilo Kiley

“This time I’m not just watching them. It’s me as the pilot instead, and I land the plane all by myself”

Lawyer

Lovers Need Lawyers – The Good Life

“Lovers need lawyers, all that I’m screaming’s being held against me. Well, you’re judge and jury…”

President

Hearshot Kid Disaster – Coheed & Cambria

“Still searching for your face in the crowd that killed the President.”

Engineer

Scenes from an Italian Restaurant – Billy Joel

“Do you remember those days hanging out by the village green? Engineer boots, leather jackets and tight blue jeans.”

Surgeon

Ship in a Bottle – Bright Eyes

“I wanna be the surgeon that cuts you open, and fixes all of life’s mistakes.”

Priest**

Eleanor Rigby – The Beatles

“Father MacKenzie writing the words to a sermon that no one will hear.”

There seems to have been some trouble with surgeon. There was the Weird Al song that was mentioned, along with my Bright Eyes song, as well as the POstal Service’s “Nothing Better” to pick from. Tomorrow’s topic is going to be a fun one…
